The Porsche Carrera GT is among the vehicles named to the 2026 Hagerty Bull Market list, which takes a deep dive into the collector car market to identify the models most likely to appreciate in the coming year. As the spiritual predecessor to the 918 Spyder and one of three super sports cars in Porsche history, the Carrara GT remains a subject of affection among enthusiasts and collectors.
Timo Resch, President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America, comments
‟The combination of a manual transmission, high-revving V10, inboard suspension, and lightweight body makes the Carrera GT just as exciting to drive today as its original introduction more than two decades ago,” Timo Resch, President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America, said. ‟It is no surprise that Porsche Classic in Atlanta is currently working on recommissioning projects for several Carrera GT owners who are seeking to have their car restored to factory-delivery condition while also meeting their personal aesthetic preferences. The Bull Market list is always a strong indicator of the importance of a model in the collector market, and we couldn’t agree more with the team at Hagerty in recognizing its importance.”
8,400 RPM!
Produced from 2003 to 2006, the Carrera GT is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.7-liter V10 that produces 605 hp, revs to 8,400 rpm, and was initially conceived for use in the LMP2000 race car. Its technological roots in racing and visceral driving experience make it one of the definitive examples of the connection between Porsche motorsport and road cars.
Larry Webster, Hagerty Senior Vice President of Media
‟The Carrera GT is one of those rare cars that reminds you how magical driving can feel. Porsche built just 1,270 of them, and values, about $1.5 million, have begun climbing again after a brief pause,” Hagerty Senior Vice President of Media Larry Webster said. ‟What stands out most for driving enthusiasts is how alive it feels: the handling balance, the responsive and sonorous V-10 engine, and the slick manual transmission. This special car is an analog icon with upside, which is why it earned a spot on our 2026 Bull Market List.”
